Real simple, take the solenoid off the vehicle and check the resistance with an ohm meter. should be around 24 ohms. None means open circuit, too high means shorted.

This is a very common misdiagnosed problem with the 4L60E and 4L65E transmissions resulting in replacement of the whole transmission 😆👍

Out of all the links you posted I wish you would have posted a link to your scan tool.

I don't take the pan off . I use my stethoscope to listen through the pan . Saves some trouble .

[kipholder]

You can also use a 9v batterie to check the solenoids

[filibertovargas]

thanks for the video,
that ia realy helpful

[avenmiller]

Do you have to remove pan to conduct this test

Having limp mode on 1/2 gear and even worse, the OBD port wont work because the fuse is blown due to it using the same fuse as 1 of 3 cigarette ports which has the more than a foot of wire burn going to the fuse box under the hood, can’t read any codes so I don’t even know what exactly is wrong. Tried swapping out MAF parts, checked fuses, Will try to change TCM & shift solenoid this week, we will see what’s wrong, just in case someone has this BS happen to them, worst case junk the trunk get another one

Idk if u can help me but I've noticed that my car has a problem it seems like the car revs hard going from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd but if I go nice and slow I don't have the revving problem I don't have a problem with shift from park to reverse to drive I also have never gotten a check Engine light either u think this could be gear shift solonoid or u thinking the transmission is slipping and starting to fail ?

Which one is solenoid A and which one is Solenoid B. Is there any difference in solenoid A and B? Do I purchase 2 of the same catalog number for A and B to be replaced? I have a 2015 5.3 Yukon with a transmission 4L60-E-RWD. Will you tell me what the catalog numbers are using AC Delco parts for these 2 solenoids.
Thanks
Chris

Was there a check engine light on to let you know your solenoids were bad??

[dewittroberts]

I have a 2002 Silverado it shifts first and second but not third can anyone tell me what could be my issue it'd 2 wheel drive

[sammydee]

I have a 2000 gmc serria 4x4 that not shifting at all the speedometer isn't working either I've check all fuses changed speedometer sensor at a stand still with it now. What am I missing??

[moneyrose-mrg]

Mine seems stuck in first revs to 6 only goes 50

[roadrunner]

I have a question I have a GMC envoy 2003 the transmission when it's cool it drives but when it gets heated it will stop could that be the silinoids or does it need to be rebuilt

[jarheadss]

My 2002 Cadillac Escalade was driving fine all of sudden I was at a stop light and when I tried to accelerate it was hesitating go from 0 - 25 after that it drives perfectly do I have a bad transmission?? I got quoted at $4500

[VYG]

So only the 2-3 solenoid was bad right?

Good vid!
Is it trash in the fluid that gets into those solenoids and screws them up?
Im doing a leaky trans cooler line on my 07 Sierra this weekend and figured id drop the pan and change the filter while im under it. Someone told me to remove the solenoids and clean them while i have the pan off, kind of a preventative maintenance...
Is it worth doing, or just leave it be?
I heard theres a screen on the end that can get clogged with trash...
Cheers
